COURT
Wedding
Adam Levy
Officiant
Adam is one of our oldest mutual friends from college, and we're proud to have him officiating our wedding. We shared countless LA adventures through college (most involving food) and he's known us our entire relationship. He was a no-brainer choice for us and actually had dibs on the role before we were even officially engaged. It means a lot to us to have this cute bean stand with us, leading our big day.
Noelle pangilinan
Singer & Pianist
Has amazing hair, a huge heart, and incredible musical skills. Also one of our closest Oxy friends. Knows where all the good eats are and changes your life by taking you to them. She often texts with Jessica about the thrills and woes of fanfiction, and she is now commonly accepted as an unquestioned fixture at her family gatherings.
katherine dungca
Ring Bearer
Jessica's beloved niecebaby! Not quite a baby anymore. An amazing, clever, funny, cool kid. We both enjoy spending time with this cool kid, watching cartoons, playing hide & seek to exhaustion, and drawing mermaids and unicorns on request. We're proud to have Kat carry the rings we made for each other down the aisle for us.
annie ewbank
Ceremony Speaker
Another dear friend from our Oxy crew! Annie is a fantastic person to go on adventures with and we're pretty sure she is capable of doing anything. She is currently Brooklyn-based and writes awesome articles about fascinating food facts, which you should read on Atlas Obscura. We're excited to have her speak at our ceremony!
teagan riehle
Ceremony Speaker
Kristen's lil sister! Gifted at puns, has sweet tattoos, loves pizza. Pittsburgh-based in recent years, we're ecstatic to have her and her fiance now live with us here in Minnesota! She's been kind enough to enthusiastically chat wedding planning with Jessica throughout the process. J feels very grateful and warm at gaining such a cool sister-in-law. We're honored to have her give a speech during our ceremony!
francesca buchko
Ring Keeper
Met on our first trip to Japan when we got to be apartment roommates! Francesca has some incredible ability to make you feel very cool, important, and seen when you talk with her. She is also a fantastic artist, podcast connoisseur, and cat expert. She and Justin live in Seattle and joined us on our quest to the Olympic Peninsula to make our wedding bands, which they'll be receiving from Kat and passing to us for our ceremonial exchange.
justin oaksford
Ring Keeper
Also met on our Japan trip! Also got to be apartment roommates! Collectively we refer to Justin and Fran as "the roomies" even though we technically only were roommates for a week in Japan. They're one of our favorite couples and adventure pals. Justin is an art genius, actual hobbit lad, and brilliant curious dude. We're honored to have Francesca and Justin keep our rings for us during the ceremony until we get to exchange them with each other.
joslyn schmitt
Reception Host
Fun fact: we've both gotten to work with Joslyn professionally! Jos is a great artist, bunny guru, and stellar person. The hypest hype-friend you've ever met. Joslyn and K love to get nostalgic about Yu Yu Hakusho together; Joslyn and Jessica love to gush about Queer Eye and our goals to become the Jonathan and Tan of the Twin Cities. She'll make y'all feel at home at our reception by helping make announcements and introduce people!
jahnavi iyer
Reception Host
We met Jahnavi when they interned at Jessica and Joslyn's old workplace. They have a penchant for wordplay, know how to juggle, and are an extremely clever and thoughtful person. We hit it off and have thankfully stayed buds since. They're currently kicking butt out in the D.C. area. Jahnavi and Jos are already buds and have great friendly energy, so we felt they'd be a perfect team for leading our reception!
